--- Quote ---In relation to Roland's existing products, the D10 and D20 are direct descendants of the D50 synthesizer, flagship of the LA range.

After the D50 came the rack-mount D550, the multitimbral MT32 and D110 modules, and now these two. The D10 and D20 are identical in all respects except for the inclusion of a sequencer and disk drive on the D20, so parts of this review not dealing with these aspects of the D20 apply to the D10 as well.
